Postgres 9.6.6 on Ubuntu 16.04, lots of errors

We're running perfsonar on a group of our servers, and while doing some maintenance work found that we




  • get giant logfiles under /var/log/postgresql

  • table bloat on the database of the perfsonar scheduler


I assume the toolkit is using table locking when it does ANYTHING on the database, and always cancels the autovacuum run:



2019-04-07 06:33:43 NZST [471-1] ERROR:  canceling autovacuum task
2019-04-07 06:33:43 NZST [471-2] CONTEXT: automatic vacuum of table "pscheduler.public.run"
2019-04-07 06:34:33 NZST [981-1] ERROR: canceling autovacuum task
2019-04-07 06:34:33 NZST [981-2] CONTEXT: automatic vacuum of table "pscheduler.public.run"


A manual run of vacuum analyze roughly halved the use of disk space under /var/lib/postgresql/9.6/main/base/ ...



I've found several web pages talking about autovacuum tuning, but I'm wondering if it wouldn't make sense to disable autovacuum and run a vacuum analyze from a cron job.



Is there a best practice/recommendation for this kind of situation?



And maybe ask the perfsonar project to clean up their code in the long run ;}
